What is recorded here

Enclosure in Slievedarragh, a 32.5m circular boundary beside a ringfort in County Galway, has lost most of its shape to time and weather. Only a faint northern bank and a southern scarp remain visible, leaving the rest imagined rather than seen. It may have marked a home, a herd or a holy limit, yet the earth has taken back the answer.

Circa 100m SSW of a ringfort (GA029-159----). Very poorly preserved circular enclosure (D 32.5m) defined by an earthen bank at N, and from SE to S. A scarp defined the monument from S to SW. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
